Not sure why the others made large courses, or ones with funnels.
I cant get a hang of the controls for this game, at least not yet. So I just made a 10 hole course that is completely flat with the hole 1yd away. Pick the 7 iron, pull back every so slightly on the right stick, then move forward neither quickly nor slowly, and the ball will go in. Worse case you miss by an inch, or overshoot a bit, and you have 6 more shots to get it right.

Just remember to switch to the 7 iron every time.

The easiest and fastest by far, this should be the top solution...

By Jissi on 12 Apr 2015 11:15

Worked great! Thanks.

By GoBlue13 on 14 Apr 2015 22:04

The other 2 solutions take way too much effort. A massive +1 from me. Takes 5 minutes maximum.

By FineBrick on 20 Jun 2015 19:05

Awesome! Thanks for making this course!

By Panthera onca on 25 Sep 2015 17:38

Your awesome! Thanks.

By AvengedAgainst on 22 Mar 2016 22:55

Definitely the easiest solution. Thanks so much for the course!

By Lakeshow on 02 Jun 2017 19:57

Gave a 10 rating and a thumbs up. It took me a few tries but then it was an ace the last 5 holes. Thank you!

By Joker De Pablo on 10 Jul 2017 22:58

you should definitely make note in your solution to do the chip suggestion. MUCH better.

By Dwaggienite on 18 Jul 2017 17:04

Perfect, thanks!

By Effigy on 21 Oct 2017 00:04

BEST solution

By assassinDMG on 13 Mar 2018 12:00

Fantastic solution! Should mention that it needs to be chip shots though around 15-20%. Can even hold LT and put the line all the way down to the bottom to keep it flat

By PabloUK85 on 24 Apr 2018 16:54

Awesome, thanks! Used the chip shots as others have mentioned as I struggled on normal but less than 5 min using this solution and course! Cheers

By littlelou1982 on 27 Nov 2018 19:59

I was in a hurry, so messed up a couple of shots: you can pause the game, declare an unplayable ball, and turn back to the previous point (losing a shot).

Thumbs up and rating 9!

By Gottle on 13 Apr 2019 09:57

Great course, thanks for making this. Yep as others have said remember to use the chip shots!

By pezza888 on 22 Apr 2023 21:39

MUST USE CHIP SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By Oxmix on 02 Sep 2023 09:41

Make it a chip shot too if your struggling with sensitivity, pull back slightly, then forward quickly. Even EASIER.

By C64 Mat on 08 Jun 2016 09:24

Switch to your 7 iron(club) hit x to change to chip shot! Must hit shot around 20%--- bring your joystick down a little bit and swing. Hole in one every time!

Just go to 'More' when selecting a course, filter for 'Public Courses' (using LB or RB), and hit the 'Y' button to edit your search. In the search field type "EASY Lucky Number 7". Here you will find a very simple, very hazard-free course, created by yours truly

The full name is actually 'EASY Lucky Number 7 achievement (TA LN7)', but, for some reason, searching by (TA LN7) doesn't work... Sorry , I tried to make it very easy to find.

Enjoy! Message me for help/advice or just to play!

Edit: Just be sure to choose a 7-iron EVERY time. You may need to adjust your type of shot from 'Normal' to 'Pitch' or 'Chip' etc., depending on your distance. 'Chip' is a must for "putting", I'd say...

P.S. As MAKA91 notes below, using 'punch' shots instead of 'normal' can gain you some extra yardage!

Can you Putt?

By swaggers on 20 Aug 2014 02:16

Better than the course I made! Good show.

By Geoffistopheles on 20 Aug 2014 02:24

I don't believe so. I "putted" with the 7 iron. Just switch to "Chip" and take a very short backswing.

By SuperTigerWoods on 20 Aug 2014 02:25

@DrCanadianNinja: Thanks, man!

By SuperTigerWoods on 20 Aug 2014 02:33

great course got the achievement the first time.thumbs up

By jjbcbus on 20 Aug 2014 03:00

Can anyone confirm or deny using a putter?

By Goots 88 on 20 Aug 2014 12:18

You have to use a 7 Iron for EVERY shot including the "putts". I made a 47 footer on one hole during play for this achievement.

By Jayadub on 20 Aug 2014 16:53

Nice! Yeah, It's not too bad. The greens are huge and flat and can be reached in two or three most times (which leaves you 4-5 "putts", since I made them all par 7's

)

By SuperTigerWoods on 20 Aug 2014 17:01

Thanks! I'll give it a go after work.

By Goots 88 on 20 Aug 2014 17:07

Tried this on your course and the 'comeback' course. Didn't pop.

By Mark Miwurdz on 20 Aug 2014 20:43

I'm not sure what could cause that other than Live acting up again. I actually got the achievement on this very course, so it should work...

By SuperTigerWoods on 20 Aug 2014 20:58

Tried this on your course and the 'comeback' course. Didn't pop.

By Mark Miwurdz on 20 Aug 2014 21:36

I played this course and didnt get the achievement either and only used 7 irons

By HeinekenGuy84 on 20 Aug 2014 21:53

I'd say give it one more go or wait to see if it's a delayed pop

By SuperTigerWoods on 20 Aug 2014 21:56

Thanks SuperTigerWoods got the achievement, your a life saver played a second round

By HeinekenGuy84 on 20 Aug 2014 22:21

Awesome, worked first time :-)

By Chron Obvious on 21 Aug 2014 00:52

Just another note you can add, I was able to get more distance on my drives using "PUNCH" instead of normal. 165+ yards instead of 155.

By Maka91 on 21 Aug 2014 05:55

I was also playing against a friends replay who used "Normal", and I made it to green 1 drive before them usually, so its a good tactic.

By Maka91 on 21 Aug 2014 05:56

Great course and great guide!! Should be easy enough for anyone to do. Thanks SuperTigerWoods!!

By on 21 Aug 2014 08:23

Thanks guys! And Maka that's a great suggestion! I will note it above

By SuperTigerWoods on 21 Aug 2014 15:35

Worked great! Thank you!

By D Romaine on 22 Aug 2014 16:46

Good to hear!

By SuperTigerWoods on 22 Aug 2014 16:51

This won't work for me either. I did it on 2 separate occasions and it didn't pop either time...

By SirDooblay on 26 Aug 2014 04:28

Sorry to hear that... it does seem to work for people though. Keep trying!

By SuperTigerWoods on 26 Aug 2014 11:29

Thanks! I didn't see me getting this but your course made it easy.

By DadIsAZombie on 25 Apr 2015 02:29

I think you can not boogie. even if you are under par.

By FUNERAL PYRE on 08 Aug 2015 05:06

ok this time I did not boogie and I got the achivement

By FUNERAL PYRE on 08 Aug 2015 05:59

Thanks! Glad it worked for you!

By SuperTigerWoods on 31 Dec 2017 18:20

Thanks alot!

By AKfoy0face on 15 Jan 2018 03:33

First time I played through it didn't pop, but I was almost positive when I was rushing to switch to seven iron I must of went to a six iron or eight iron. I tried again this time confirming 7 iron before each shot and sure enough it unlocked. I recommend taking your time to ensure right club is picked. Thanks for the easy course and achievement!

By Goots 88 on 26 Aug 2014 12:26

Thanks and good advice!

By SuperTigerWoods on 26 Aug 2014 13:35

Dude, great course and guide! I had a ton of fun with this, even though I had to restart once because I forgot to switch to a 7 iron. But, it popped after the round finishing with a 54! Also, make sure when “putting” with the 7 iron to switch to “chip” as that really helps. Be gentle!
Plus one for sure.

I was playing the course that SuperTigerWoods suggested and it works well, but I got super bored playing it and figured I could make something a bit better. If you search for "Easiest Lucky 7 Achievement" you'll find a 10 hole course with the requisite par 70. The course is designed to default to the 7 iron from the tee box and take a single shot to get you within a foot or so of the cup.(The greens are giant funnels.) I've tested all 10 holes with 4mph crosswinds and there plenty of give on most of the holes. (Watch hole 2, I wasn't paying attention and it's a little tight, but still pretty easy.)

If, after the tee shot, the ball doesn't get in the cup just switch back to the 7 iron and chip it in. In most cases a single low power tap with the 7 iron is enough to get it in. Sometimes it takes 2 shots.

I will warn you though. If you have trouble hitting straight shots at 100% power you're going to have a bad time.

To give you an idea of how quick this is though, I ran it in testing in 14, 16, 15, 16, 17 shots, and just got my achievement with a 17 shot round.

DO NOT USE PUTTERS. YOU CAN ONLY USE THE 7 IRON.

By NitrousSpeed on 24 Aug 2014 08:45

Why would you put the wind at 12mph?

By TheLastDon on 30 Aug 2014 13:47

You don't set the wind. If the wind it too high, try it again another time. Most of the time it was at 3 or 4mph for me.

By Flatline1775 on 01 Sep 2014 19:07

Thank you for making the map 10/10

By Slowsome on 04 Sep 2014 05:50

What's up with the tee box on 7??

By Zombified on 06 Sep 2014 13:47

The second hole was horrid lol, kept finding myself just shy of getting in the funnel and having to knock it back and try again!
Admittedly 10+ mph winds don't help

By dale smeegle on 06 Sep 2014 15:14

Don't recommend trying with a high windowed as some of the holes become extremely difficult especially those with winds going from hole to tee as they take too much speed off the all leaving you trying to heave it over the mounds

By dale smeegle on 06 Sep 2014 15:21

Thanks worked perfect!

By HEATH 10 on 11 Dec 2014 08:55

I actually unlocked the achievement with the first solution, but I thought I would give this a try for the fun in it. I have to agree with "dale smeegle". I had high winds on holes 2 and 4, aimed at the tee box. I struck the ball with 100% power and straight, but it fell just short of the funnel both holes. Holes with <10mph winds were no problem.

By BillJones0302 on 08 Feb 2018 21:17

Couldn't get hole 2. Wind was always very high. Gave up and used "CTM,s" solution (had to use chip shot!!!!!).

Search for a course called lucky number 7. It is 18 holes, but each hole is no more than 2 feet from the tee. Just be sure to switch to your 7 iron and change the shot type to chip. 18 little taps and you'll have the trophy.

A ridiculous achievement, but you can get it easily by searching for a downloadable course geared towards it. There are several of them, with the words "Easy Lucky 7" or a variant of the achievement name in the course list. You then need to select your 7 iron club every time.
